Chapter 16

 

Michael got into his car and started the ignition. He pulled out of the movie studio parking lot and his cell phone started to ring. He pulled it out of his pocket and fliped it open as he kept his eyes on the road.

" Hello?" He said.

" Hey michael its max remember from high school"

" Yeah i remember you, how've you been?" Michael asked as he stopped at a red light.

" Good how about you?"

"good, look Michael your dating Leah right?"

"was, i was dating Leah till she..why?"

"i'm looking for Mel and I know Leah knows where she is but I don't know where Leah is but I know your dating her"

"WAS" Michael cut in as he drove off

"was sorry so are you gonna tell me where Leah is?"

"shes in Orlando" Michael sighed "with him"

"with who?" Max asked

"Aj a damn backstreet boy" Michael said pulling into the 4 car garage of his condo. He steped out the car and closed the door. Max cringed when he heard that. Only one name came to his mind. NICK CARTER

"Max..you still there?" Michael asked

"uh yeah just so do you have a number or address?"

"yeah, yeah i do but if i give you this info what am i getting in return?" Michael asked

II+I+II+I+II+I+II+I+II+I+II+I+II

Leah sat out by the pool soaking up some sun while Aj was at the studio with the guys. She stood up and walked to the pool jumping in she started to swim a few laps. The phone started to ring but she continued to swim. whoever it was if it was important they would call back later. The phone rang again..and again...and again....and again. frustrated Leah got out the pool and walked over to the table where the cordless phone laid. She picked it up and clicked it on.

"hello?"

"Leah?"

"who is this?" Leah asked

"it's Max how are you"

"Max how the hell did you get my number?"

"a little friend of mine gave it to me" Max said

"what do you want?" Leah asked

"Mel"

"what? what do you want with Mel?" Leah asked as she wraped the towel that hung over the chair around her waist.

"Leah I just want to talk to her thats all i swear"

"why should I believe you Max?"

"because i love her and i want to tell her"

"Max shes happy just leave her alone"

"Leah please I love her and i just want to tell her that. if she doesn't feel the same i'll back off i promise"

"bullshit you'll hurt her again like you've done before and this time i'm not gonna let you do it Max" Leah said and clicked off the phone. A second later the phone rang again.

"what!" Leah yelled

"Leah please" Max pleaded

"Max i..i can't"

"Leah please I just want to make sure that she and my baby are ok"

'how did he know about the baby' Leah thought

"Max i can't give that out without talking to Mel about it first"

"NO! you can't.. i mean don't i just want to talk to her leah i swear i'm not going to hurt her just talk to her"

"fine i'll give you her number but thats it"

"good what is it?" Max asked

"356-8790" Leah said not thinking this was a good idea

"now can I have the address?"

"No Max i said i would give you her number and thats it"

"goddamnit Leah, hold on a sec someone wants to talk to u" Max said. Leah heard voices on teh other line but the voice that picked up the phone wasn't who she was expecting.

"hello Leah"

"Michael?"

"so you havent forgotten me"

"what do you want"

"the address of course" Michael said

"Michael what are you doing with Max hes nothing but trouble"

"I love trouble.. now can I get the address?" he asked for the second time

"No you can't" She heard Michael sigh on the other end

"Leah if you don't give it to me i'd hate to see anything happen to you or your pop star boyfriend"

"is that a threat"

"take it how you wanna but i'm gonna get it with or without your help but it'll be a lot easire with your help" Leah looked behind and around her and walked into the house locking the padio door. She walked into the kitchen and rushed into the front room. The double glass doors were locked and she walked to the windows looking out before pulling the curtains over them.

"why so paranoide Leah all alone in the big house"

"don't call here anymore" Leah said and hung up the phone.

"oh god Mel" she picked the phone back up and dialed Mels number but got no answer.

"shit" leah cursed she threw the phone down and cried. "what did she just her and Mel into"

Mel walked towards the door two brown grocery bags in her arms. She sat one down as she opened the door. four yapping dogs rushed to her feet.

"hey guys" she greeted the yapping dogs as she walked into the kitchen with the bags. Sh estarted to unload the food just as the doorbell rang. She walked out the kitchen the four dogs following closely behind her. She got to the door and opened it. She stared blankly at the figure infront of her.

"M.m Max what are you doing here?" Mel asked
